Thursday June 25 1778.

Hostilities you will know are
commenced at Sea; there are a
thousand different reports about
it.

Mr Sam Bentham Ward's Coffee House upon the Parade Portsmouth

As for the Doctor (Mulford) I see no particular end
it could answer to talk with him about the Russian scheme
Let us count our chickens before they are hatched to ourselves a la
bonne heure; but not aloud. You might if you wanted conversation

Your things went last night to the Bel Savage for
the Waggons. Alas! I forgot to put up the phial. But

to get the Phil. Transactions from Lind.

D'Alembert and Helvetius I will enquire about and get
if Wilson will let me; which I almost doubt. I was going

the author of the Spanish book on Ship building not yet

but he patted me away. But I will get them all let him say
what he will — these eye-traps are of more use than one
can well imagine

Courage my Boy I am glad to see thee work in such good
spirits. Punishments now go on pretty well — I have got over any
great difficulties Circumstances influencing Sensibility - and the cursed Pains
